• The Dynamics of Deterministic Chaos in Numerical Weather Prediction Models.
• Numerical Weather Prediction, February 1988, Baltimore, MD. ...
•     Atmospheric weather systems are coherent structures consisting of discrete cloud cells forming patterns of rows/streets, mesoscale clusters (MCC) and spiral bands which maintain their identity for the duration of their appreciable life times in the turbulent shear flow of the planetary Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL). ... Numerical weather prediction models do not give realistic forecasts because of the following inherent limitations: (1) the non-linear governing equations for atmospheric flows do not have exact analytic solutions and being sensitive to initial conditions give chaotic solutions characteristic of deterministic chaos (2) the governing equations do not incorporate the dynamical interactions and co-existence of the complete spectrum of turbulent fluctuations which form an integral part of the large coherent weather systems (Shafee and Shafee, 1987) (3) limitations of available computer capacity necessitates severe truncation of the governing equations, thereby generating errors of approximations (4) the computer precision related roundoff errors magnify the earlier mentioned uncertainties exponentially with time and the model predictions become unrealistic (Beck and Roepstorff, 1987). The accurate modelling of weather phenomena therefore requires alternative concepts and computational techniques. In this paper a universal theory of deterministic chaos applicable to the formation of coherent weather structures in the ABL is presented with the newly identified computational technique "cellular automata" suitable for computer parallel processing techniques (Hayor, 1987). ...
• The inherent hierarchy of the atmospheric eddy continuum is manifested as the Meso-scale Cloud Clusters (MCC) in synoptic scale weather systems. ... (1) and is given below: (4)     The sun is the main source of energy which drives the ABL circulations and therefore periodicities in the weather patterns may finally be related to solar energy input cycles as shown in the following (1) 40-50 day oscillations in the atmospheric general circulation and also the ENSO (~5 years) phenomena may result from the diurnal cycle of solar radiation (1dayx40~40-50 days and 1dayx40x40~ 5years) (2) the QBO may result from the semi-diurnal pressure oscillation (12 hoursx40x40~2 years) (3) the 22 year oscillation in weather patterns may result from the 5 minute oscillations of the sun's atmosphere (5minsx404 ~ 22 years). ...
• 1) which may be manifested (1) in the synoptic scale features as intensification of small scale short duration intense weather systems such as meso-cyclones and severe local storms. In general seasonal/regional weather anomalies will intensify as a result of tighter coiling of the circulation patterns e. ... Atmospheric eddy continuum energy enhancement due to astronomical causes or human activity is therefore manifested in the first instance as increased variability in global weather patterns leading to perceptible climate change after an appreciable time period. The signature of impending weather/climate change, however can be detected in the geomagnetic H component variations which follow closely changes in atmospheric circulation patterns as shown in a later section. ...
•     Deterministic Chaos Model of Weather Systems.
•     The atmospheric weather systems are the visible manifestation of the unified atmospheric eddy continuum in climatologically favourable regions of enhanced buoyant energy generation. The hierarchical helicity inherent to the turbulent shear flow of the ABL is manifested as the Mesoscale Cloud Clusters (MCC) in global weather systems, the cloud bands having inherent curvature (helicity) as exhibited in the strikingly spiral hurricane cloud bands. The deterministic chaos model prediction  of the universal and unique patterns of cloud bands and pressure and wind anomaly patterns for synoptic scale weather systems are compared with well documented observational results for the hurricane system (Mary Selvam, 1986). ...
